Luxembourg
Luxembourg runs the MeluXina supercomputer, is adding the AI-optimised MeluXina-AI and is reserving grid capacity far above current data centre use.
LuxProvide operates MeluXina at Bissen, which EuroHPC lists at 12.81 petaflops sustained. EuroHPC selected Luxembourg to host MeluXina-AI and a national AI Factory in December 2024, at an estimated cost of 112 million euros shared with EuroHPC. Half of its capacity is reserved for the EuroHPC network and half for national needs. LuxProvide's chief executive says it will be ten times more powerful than today. Paperjam reports that Creos is setting aside capacity for data centres at about 20 times what they use today. For someone seeking compute, MeluXina is a secure, certified option for sensitive data, with the new system not yet confirmed as live.
AI policy and activity
The AI Factory is coordinated by Luxinnovation with sector hubs in finance, space, cybersecurity and the green economy. EuroHPC lists services as available from a date not yet announced.
Power and grid
Paperjam reports the national energy and climate plan expects consumption to rise 25% from 6,209 GWh in 2023 to 7,756 GWh in 2030 without counting data centres. Grid operator Creos has identified seven data centre projects for its 2040 scenario and is setting aside or allocating capacity about 20 times current data centre use.
